The league thought we weren't good citizens, so we have to abide with what they ruled. The league thinks if one team does it, everybody is going to do it, and it would set a precedent by letting everybody go there and get benefits above and beyond what the collective bargaining agreement calls for. I don't agree or disagree. That's what the league is ruling, and I'm going to abide by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He always told me that he only had two or three. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31843]]></link><description><![CDATA[He always told me that he only had two or three.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modernism may be seen as an attempt to reconstruct the world in the absence of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modernism may be seen as an attempt to reconstruct the world in the absence of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and displeased them. . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51277]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the tag-rag people did not clap him and hiss him, according as he pleased and displeased them. . . .

We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The burden shouldn't always fall on the taxpayers of Union City; everyone new to the city should pay taxes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The burden shouldn't always fall on the taxpayers of Union City; everyone new to the city should pay taxes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault.
